1933-34 NHL season

Information about 1933-34 NHL season

The 1933-34 NHL season was the 17th season of the National Hockey League. Nine teams each played 48 games. The Chicago Black Hawks were the Stanley Cup winners as they beat the Detroit Red Wings three games to one.

Regular season

On the 12th of December, 1933, a tragedy occurred as Toronto's King Clancy tripped Boston's Eddie Shore, and, in retaliation to being tripped, Shore hit Ace Bailey from behind flipping him over backwards. Bailey hit his head so hard on the ice that a priest in attendance gave him last rites. Bailey lived, but his playing career was over. Shore was suspended for 16 games of a 48 game season for the hit. As a benefit for Bailey and his family, the first ever National Hockey League All-Star Game was held on 14 February 1934.

The Ottawa Senators, having enough problems, now had to deal with holdout Cooney Weiland. He was sold to Detroit, strengthening the Red Wings. The Senators continued to lose, but won a few games when they signed an amateur named Max Kaminsky to centre the Roche brothers Desse and Earl. A defenceman, Ralph "Scotty" Bowman, gave Ottawa fans a little to cheer about. But the handwriting was on the wall, and in the last game to be played in Ottawa for many years, the Senators let the New York Americans use goaltender Alex Connell when Roy Worters was hurt. He helped the Americans beat his club.

A major trade was a swap of goaltenders as Lorne Chabot was traded to the Montreal Canadiens for George Hainsworth. The Canadiens also loaned Wilf Cude to Detroit and he led the Red Wings to first place.Chabot didn't do badly either, leading the Canadian Division in goaltending, helping the goal-strapped Canadiens to second place. Aurel Joliat of the Canadiens won the Hart Trophy.
